If you are modding your car, make sure you upgrade your clutch as well as the handling, brakes and so on.

You will naturaly drive the car harder when you know you got that extra power...its the feeling of that achievement even though the mod made no difference at all, the loud exhaust is enough to make you do this

Saying that, I nearly done the same hitting a car while reversing at high speed. Literally just now on my way home I was attacked by a group of youth. They start banging at the car with their fist, so I reversed out of the deadend and once I got further away they start throwing brick at us. Thanks god the windscreen didnt smash, the GF was well shaken then.

I would have run the ****ers down. Goddamn punk kids. Throwing a brick at the windsheild of your car is definately grounds for self defense. I mean, attacking someone in a vehicle made of a half ton of steel while on foot is ASKING to be removed from the gene pool.
